Schools must distribute, by October 1 each year, a security report or a notice of the report to all current students and employees. If the school distributes the report by posting it on the school's website, the school must provide a notice by October 1 that includes a statement of the report's availability, the exact electronic address, a brief description of the report's contents, and a statement that the school will provide a paper copy upon request.

The school must provide a notice to prospective students and employees that include a statement of the report's availability, a description of its contents, and an opportunity to request a copy. If the report is posted on a website the notice must include the exact electronic address and a statement that the school will provide a paper copy of the report upon request.

A school may combine the publication of the security report and the fire safety report if the title of the combined report clearly states that both reports are included. If the security and fire safety reports are published separately, each report must include information about how to access the other report.
